The Disappearance was quite good although I would quite happily have punched a few of the main characters on multiple occasions.

The Disappearance was quite good although I would quite happily have punched a few of the main characters on multiple occasions.
The assassination of Gianni Versace.
Few episodes in and it pretty good interesting story.
We say TV but almost everything we watch at home is streamed.
I wonder what percentage of screen time comprises people sitting in front a a TV watching what is being broadcast at that moment.
Crashing. Series about a aspiring comedian who spends his life moving around different people's couches after his marriage breaks down. First series was realy good, about to start the second.
Wee reminder that the crossing starts tonight , I think its on Fox, It's the guys that directed Lost so might be worth watching if that was your thing
I thought that was one of the worst things I’ve seen. The script was poor, the acting terrible and the conclusion daft.Quote:

The Defiant Ones, story of Dr Dre and Jimmy Lovine. On Netflix just now as a mini series, absolutely outstanding insight into how things worked back then with a tremendous amount of brilliant interviews.
Honestly one of the best things I've seen in telly for yonks!
Amazon I think.Quote:

Viola Davis continues to be outstanding on How to get away with murder, shes a fantastic actress.
Last couple of episodes of Marcella have been a wee bit flat but I’m still hooked. Not sure if they’ve thrown in too many characters.
Finished McMafia this week - enjoyed it.
Started Homeland and that’s started well. I prefer the US/UK based storylines over the Middle East ones.
Thought the pilot episode of the crossing was decent , Think this could be good
Legion is the most original and trippy show on TV just now. Season two just started on Tues. It's nothing like any other Marvel TV shows or movies. In fact I think it's the best product from the Marvel stable. A complete glorious mindf*** of a show. Not everyone's cup of tea but it's straight into my top 5 favourite programmes ever made.
Just in case anyone is put off by the comic book thing.
Imagine putting...
Fight Club
Twin Peaks
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Inception
The Matrix
David Lynch & Stanley Kubrick
and the X-Men movies
...in a blender. The result:
A mindboggingly, amazingly tasty Legion smoothie.

Watched the 1st ep of The City & The City, not got a clue whats meant to be going on!
Really enjoyed the first couple of eps of Kiss Me First on Ch4.
I'm more likely to watch BBC programmes when they are actually broadcast, almost everything with adverts except live sport I'll watch via Tivo/Kodi.Quote:

Seriously gone from one of the best shows on tv to one of the worst. It's unreal how stale the show is nowQuote:

It's the same with the comic books. Got so stale and repetitive.Quote:

Next up I plan to watch the Judd Apatow documentary on Garry Shandling, gets great reviews.
I stopped watching after the previous season, haven't missed it in the slightest.Quote:

The absolute hacks that write The Walking Dead have admitted they never plan to explain what has caused the situation. They've shown time and again that they don't really understand how to tell a story.....see the fiasco of the Glenn stories and some of the awful cliffhangers.
It's nothing but a cash cow for them now.
Couldn't agree more. On a positive note, no real cliffhangers, as Lord Sugar would say, "im out"Quote:

I’ve watched the first two episodes. You were right it’s very weird, but quite good as well.Quote:

Those that suggest it is as good as game of thrones, and there are even some that say it is better, could not be further from the truth.
It really is down to personal preference as i absolute love TWD ! Best programme on tv by a mile for me
Salamander series 2 on bbc4 after 4 years away. Really good first couple of episodes.Grizzled Flemish cop.
